Fast-growing native birch, typically 40-60 ft tall, with white peeling bark and yellow fall color, best for moist, well-drained forest edges and open woodland restoration areas. Hosts many butterfly and moth caterpillars and provides food and shelter for birds and mammals through seeds, bark, insects, and cavities. Avoid hot streets, compacted lawns, and exposed dry sites. Fibrous roots make this a great choice for fall planting. Limited availability this season.
